It seems that DEFRA is now insisting that each breach of the scheme will carry a fine of £5,000.

Under the EC's Animal By-Products Regulation, 1774/2002, all "fallen stock" must be gathered up and placed in sealed containers, to be collected by contractors, at a cost of up to £50 an animal, then transported, sometimes hundreds of miles, to be rendered down or incinerated in a licensed plant.

Farmers must thus wait up to five weeks to have carcases collected, often by vehicles so filthy that they make a mockery of hygiene or "biosecurity"!

Life's a p*sser Countrysider. There must be some helping politician willing to jump on the bandwagon (excuse the pun).
